Like Jon said, you don't need to worry about that error message.  But if 
you don't want to see it, you can tell the su command to do a complete 
login (assume the entire shell environment of that user) with an extra dash 
character, ala:

su - -c "/usr/sbin/interchange -r"

Which, btw, I use so often that I alias su to 'su -' for that 
purpose.  (I'm always suing to other users).
